Mrs. Langtry will open at the Opera
House here next week in The WUes
Peril. The New York World gave the
following critique of the production of
this piece a few months ago:
Mrs. Langtry's re-entrance on the
New York stage met with the hearty
response from the public which all
friends of the nctress expected that it
would. There was an ovcrfowing,
fashionable house and the usual familiar
first.night faces in the boxes. The play
selected for her temperance was
A Wife's Peril, in wEicn Mrs. Langtry
has been seen in this city. Its merits
are we'll known. Its purpose Is always
the same, SO far as New York
theatre-goers are concerned, to serve
as a vehicle for the introduction OF
the now well.established English beauty
and to show just how much ability
she possesses as an actress. Heretofore
the Lang:ry's claim to beauty received
the recognition which it wanted. She
is an estimable lady, with winning face
and manners that Immediately makes
friends. Now she asserts also in the
very strongest and most uncontroverti-
BILE way her title to the term actress.
She has improved in great measure since
she was lest seen here. She seems at
once to feel and control the emotions
she is tasked to portray aud no longer
manifests the amateurs inattention to
do by.play and all the minor details of
the situation in which she is placed.
The play she appeared in last night
fits her now admirably, even as q
vehicle. A lovely woman, a vision of
all that could be bright and beautiful in
any mans lite, she moves through the
scenes figure calculated to win the ad-
miration and attract the attention Of
Just such charac cter as Charles Coghlan
portrayes, and to lead him into just
such intricacies of heart-sickness and
desperation as furnishes the interest OF
A WDe's Peril. Mrs. Langtry was
warmly accepted throughout the play
and at every good point got enthusiastic
rounds of applause. Mr.. Coghlan, too,
had many friends in the audience who
received him cordially. He filled the
requirements of his role with apparent
satisfaction to the audience.

So, 600, 900 are under it's control. The
gentlemen forming this syndicate are
Jotham Bixpy, B. c. Wright, Howard
w. Mills, Emil r. d'Artois and Walter
L. Wehb-the two latter as managers,
and who we're the projectors of the now
famous Rosecrans townsite. A franchise
for motor road from the city to Rose.
Grams has been granted to this company,
and the work of building it will be
pushed forward without delay. A mag.
niticent hotel will be constructed to be
ready for occupancy this fall. A vein of
natural gas was struck yesterday on the
Rosecrans tract, while boring for water,
which promises good supply, the flow
being so strong that the workmen could
scarcely Withstand its effects, thirteen
men being required to cap it. Two hun
dred houses are to be built as fast as
lumber aud labor can be sudplied, and
everything points to the best results for
this beautiful spot between Los Angeles
and the Ballona harbor. With such
capitalists as Mes,rs. Bixby and Mills al
the fore, and the indefatigable firm Of
D'Artois & Webb to manage the sales
and work, there seems no doubt what
ever that this beautifully located suburb
is destined to become lone of the finest.
The two latter are young men, with al
unbounded faith in their enterprise, ant
the fact that they have so we'll succeeded
in their first venture augurs we'll fol
future undertakings. They are certain
ly deserving of success and are bound t.
succeed.

A CHINESE THEATRE.
Shall Los Angeles have a season

Shall Los Angeles have a SeasOn

The growing cosmopolitan nature OF
Los Angeles has inspired the "heathen"
portion of it's variegated population to
imagine in their dreams that Los Angeles
NAV vet be the Canton or Pekin of the
Pacific coast in the near future. Some
of them have actually expressed their
desire to build first.class Chinese
theatre. where white visitors will be
welcomed by paying the necessary en-
trance Tee. Once started it will no
doubt last forever and others will follow
with the increase Of the celestial popu.
lation. Los Angeles has within her
gates nearly oil the races of the earth.
There is the German paper, Italian paper,
French paper, Spanish paper, but the
s,heathen" portion ore not quite happy.
In their opinion, to compile a great
city's happiness and to fill the mortal
mind with supreme delight, oriental tea
gardens and grand Chinese theaters. to.

obstacle that now prevents their making

The Aninnus of ,76.

EDITORS HERALD-As the youth OF
the writer was passed near Bunker Hill,
it may be inferred that the spirit OF '76
was an Inheritance. 1t was pleasure
to see that the true animus of that spirit
pervaded the people of Los Angeles in
our recent celebration. Only one other
time since lS49 has the writer had the
opportunity to celebrate our national
anniversary. In that year the Sea Ea-
ole called at Port Famine, Patagonia,
for fresh provisions and water. One
other boy and the writer were left on
board as anchor watch; the rest OF the
ships company went ashore for good
time. 'Joe" was a lively lad and want.
ed some sport. So uubeknown to the
writer Joe ran out gun through the
port hole and fred ball through the
fort. This brought the officers on
board "muy pronto." Explanations,
apologies and other courtesies were ex-
changed and the matter was smoothed
over. The other opportunity to cele-
brate was offered while the writer was
on his way to Europe in 1878 as rep.
resentative of Los Angeles interests
abroad in the year of the worlds fair at
Vienna. The Fourth of July found us
in midocean on Scotch steamship, the
Castalia, of the Anchor line. I'm.
promptu songs, dances and music on
the piano, also recitations, made up the
programme. An accomplished Ohio
lady gave us "Home, Sweet Home, and
a now resident Of Los Angeles enjoyed
q waltz with fair passenger.
These were the only opportunities Of
fered in these thirty-eight years for
honoring and observing the anniversary.
1t may be opiued that the occasion was
welcomed here on last Monday to see
whether the spirit Of 76 was yet alive.
No one who saw our celebration on that
day can doubt its survival.

theatrical companies but guarantee
from some reliable quarter would be nee
eseary. One or two wealthy Chinese
would not feel disposed to shoulder
the respon ibility of such a
great enterprise. These Chinese COM
nanjes translate their "dramas" in a
general way into English, while in part
Ihey are enacted in pantomime. 1t is a
popular error in America that Chinese
dramas take a longer time to produce
than those of the English. On the con
trary, they are seldom longer than
thirty minutes for each play. 1t is Gus
tomary in China to go through theat-
rical bill of fare precisely as one goes
through hotel bill OF fare In tins
country. You can order the plays after
the first or second dramas have been
played through by the company, and in
all theaters in China an evenings enter
Iainment produces at least nan
q dozen dramas before it is called fuii
entertainment. There being no drop
curtains or intermissions between the
plays on the stage, the performance
gives the impression to Europeans that
the plays are long,
Every standard play is founded upon
historical facts. They were dramatized
by 81 Shi Ming, the Chinese Shakes
peare of more than 1000 years ago. He
was the first Emperor OF the Tong dy.
nasty, and so fond of amusements that
he caused various burlesques to be pro.
duced before his royal guests. These
were acts and events as recorded in his
tory. He was so full of all kinds OF |
frolicsome propensities and love OF ad-
ventures that it was said, and seriously |
believed by his fellow countrymen, even
to this day, that he got into heaven one
day during one of these spells and be-
haved himself SO ludicrously while there
before the gods that since then no En-.
peror has been admitted.
In San Francisco, the general Chinese
theatres are visited by the best OF white
people. 1t is an ordinary occur.
renee, and every evening they figure
among the audience.
The Chinese think that there seems to
be no rational objection to the thorough
completion of the cosmopolitanism OF the
great Southern metropolis, and its cul.
mination into veritable metropolis
of great Southern California, and they
say why not have genuine first class
Chinese theater, wherein may be given
exhibitions of the peculiar wit OF the
Orientals, of the filial love that Orientals
know how to imbue upon the minds OF
the young? They ask why should
not theatre of this kind be successful
here as we'll as four or five in San Fran
cisco. If stock company can be
formed among the prominent Chinese,
which is proposed, the Angelenos can
soon visit this peculiar place OF amuse-
ment, which, it conducted on proper
basis, is not liable to prove a detriment
to the city. 1t would be rare sight to
the thousands Of Eastern visitors as well
as to many of tae inhabitants. A couple
Of Chinese merchants who have the
matter under consideration will do their
utmost to bring the contemplated enter
prise to successful issue.

NEW YORK, July 6.-The temper OF the
street was again nearish this morning, and
the stock market was feverish but generally
weak. Throughout most OF the day there
was considerably more activity displayed
than on yesterday and the business was
much better distributed. although the great
bulk of trading done was monopolized by
six or eight stocks. A story was circulated
that the efforts of the bears W. re principal
ly directed against one prominent operator.
winch created a somewhat un easy feeling.
Operators for decline lacked the aid OF high
rates for money, however, and during the
day much better feeling was developed ana
the rallies became more important. Con,
siderable effect was had upon the general
list by the weakness in cottonseed Oil GER
tjficates, in which several stop orders were
UNCOVERED and a decline OF nearly five
points affected. The last nour showed in
creased strength and the close was steady
to arm, though quiet generally at fractional
concessions from the opening figures. Al
mOstthe entire active list is lower, Louis
willie and Nashville aud Canada southern
being the most conspicuous exceptions, but
